As a group, stoneshapers tend to be warded and empowered by a myriad of magical runes. While undeniably a useful tactic to employ, such invocations are considerably taxing on the mind. Thus was devised the graven mind spell, through which a mage may temporarily convert her life force into mental energy. This transfer takes place at a favorable ratio, earning more points of mana than it costs in hit points. The exact amount of life may be specifed at the time of casting or left blank; if the latter, one tenth of the caster's total hit points are converted. There is a cap on the amount of life energy which may be converted.
In addition to the transfer of energies, the caster's newly-earth-infused mind will be awakened to sense powerful concentrations of orderly magic. In particular, she will be able to sense founts of order, though the rest of the Weave (including other kinds of founts and all ley lines) will be no more visible to her than any other.
